From Yuval Ginbar, Campaign Coordinator for B'Tselem and
Hamoked, 26 March 1997. Seeks assistance in a public campaign
against the quiet deportation of Palestinians from East
Jerusalem. Israeli residency policies have caused the
displacement of thousands of Palestinian families and
threaten thousand more. Revocation of residency rights.

By Hannan Ashrawi, Jerusalem, 18 October 2000. Blaming the victim
to rationalize and distorte the horror of a crime presumes
the total dehumanization of the victims and the elimination
of their most basic rights and attributes as well as claims to
protection. Both the extreme right and extreme left in Israel
(as well as the US) have adopted this condescending, patronizing
approach to peace, where Barak has gone the farthest.

By Noam Chomsky, Mid-East Realies,
28 October 2000. Barak's plan embedded in the US-Israel Camp
David negotiations that collapsed in July, extended earlier
US-Israeli rejectionist proposals and called for cantonization
of the Palestianian territories, with usable land and resources
(primarily water) largely in Israeli hands while administration
put into the hands of a corrupt and brutal Palestinian authority,
playing the role of indigenous collaborators under imperial
rule such as the Black leadership of South Africa's Bantustans.

By Max Elbaum, special to ColorLines,
15 December 2000. The real issue is the Israeli military
occupation of Palestinenot only inherently violent but
also a violation of international law and contrary to United
Nations resolutions. The new intifada has refocused attention
on the nature and extent of Israeli racism. Zionism centered
on the creation of a specifically Jewish state in which Jews
would be protected and privileged over non-Jews.

By Francis A. Boyle, 17 December 2000. The closest historical
analogue to what was offered in the peace negotiations of
1992 is a bantustan akin to the bantustans that the apartheid
Afrikaaner regime established for the Black People in the
Republic of South Africa. This Bantustan Proposal was held
secret until it became the Oslo Agreement that was signed on
the White House steps on September 13, 1993.

By Sara Flounders, Occupied Palestine,
Workers World, 6 June 2002. Report from a delegate from
International ANSWER, which visited Gaza, Bethlehem, East J
erusalem, Ramallah and Jenin in occupied Palestine. It focuses
on the lockdown of Palestinian communities. Palestinaian rage
and frustration; Apartheid roads, walled ghettos.

By Fred Gaboury, People's Weekly World,
8 June 2002. Director general of the ILO calls the
situation in the Occupied Territories of the Palestinian West
Bank and Gaza Strip a socio-economic meltdown resulting
from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the deep
humanitarian crisis that Palestinian families are living
through. The border closures.

Grassroots International News Association (GINA), 26 August
2002. Voicing manifestly racist views on the Zionist state's
non-Jewish citizens, a number of Israeli officials called
for withholding more legal and civil rights from liberties
from Israel's sizable Arab minority on the ground of possible
disloyalty to the apartheid Jewish state.
